Radiative decay rates are computed with the atomic structure code superstructure for the 2s2psp3 sp5S spo_2 - 2ssp22p sp2 sp3P_1 , sp3P_2 and sp1D_2 intercombination transitions of the carbon isoelectronic sequence (6 <= Z <= 28). Contributions from configuration interaction and relativistic corrections are carefully studied, in particular the spin-spin interaction that is shown to be of considerable importance for low Z. By extensive comparisons with other theoretical datasets and measurements of the sp5S spo_2 radiative lifetime and the B=A(sp5S spo_2 - sp3 P_2)/A(sp5S spo_2 - sp3 P_1) branching ratio, we are able to assign accuracy ratings to the present transition probabilities. The transitions to the ground term are believed to be accurate to better than 10% whereas the smaller A-values belonging to transitions to the sp1 D_2 are not expected to be accurate to more than 20%. A detailed table of the present transition probabilities is available in electronic form from the CDS via anonymous ftp 130.79.128.5 or via http://cdsweb.u-strasbg.fr/Abstract.html
